A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 205

Byron knew that Maverick wanted to impress Jack with emotion.

It turned out that Maverick had collected a lot of information about Jack before coming here.

Therefore, the person that Byron admired the most in his life was Maverick.

Maverick had suffered a lot, and to this day, no one can do so well like him.

He said, "I know you took Edmond away to protect him. If you want to hurt him, you don't have to wait until today. You cannot solve the root of the problem. I can help you, Jack. I will not have any complaints against you, because you have taken care of Everly for five years. Therefore, it is not too late for you to come out. You should know clearly that you have no other choice."

Byron thought, 'Well done. Act tough and talk softly.'

Byron estimated that this American dude would not be able to hold on for long. After all, it was true that there was no other choice.

There was a man behind the small slope.

Jack had a serious expression.

He had heard everything that Maverick said. It was difficult for him to make a decision.

After being chased for a long time and living a life of hiding, Jack had already lost trust in the people around him. He looked down at Edmond who had been knocked unconscious by him. He seemed to have thought for a long time.

That's right. He delivered the baby himself. Deep down in his heart, there were still flowing with the spirit of being a doctor and people-oriented.

For such a long time, he had always regretted the decision he had made back then, even if he had no choice at that time.

Perhaps, this was all retribution.

The indignation in Jack's heart seemed to be slowly eliminated under his self-comfort.

After ten minutes of stalemate, Jack finally moved his body. Then, he carried Edmond and stood up from the slope.

Byron saw Jack coming out from the back of the slope, holding a child in his arms, and the child fainted.

He elbowed Maverick and said, "Well, he is persuaded by you. Do I need to let someone come up?"

Just as Maverick was about to say something, there was a dull sound in the air.

His brain tightened at the same time.

In fact, Maverick discovered the sound of a silenced sniper rifle at the first moment. No one knew where the shot was fired. This place was too empty, surrounded by hills.

Maverick realized that something was wrong. When Byron instinctively wanted to lie down, Maverick held his breath and rushed to Jack.

That was right.

The person who was shot was Jack, but Edmond was still in Jack's arms. The shot did not hit the vital point. Jack vomited blood and slowly fell to the ground.

When Maverick rushed over, the first thing he did was to hold his son in his arms and protect him.

"Jack?" Maverick called him, only to find that the bullet had hit his abdomen, so he was bleeding.

He immediately turned to look at Byron. "Hurry up! Take him away!"

Byron had been pampered since he was young. He was different from Maverick. He was not familiar with these gunfights. At this moment, he was shocked, but his reaction was quick. He quickly stood up and ran over.

Maverick immediately gave Edmond to Byron, "Take Edmond down first and let the people below go to the opposite hill as soon as possible. Someone wants to kill Jack."

"Then you..."

"I will be fine!" Maverick said calmly, "Help me take care of my son. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life,"

The corners of Byron's mouth twitched. At this moment, he felt that he was laden with heavy responsibility.

Byron knew that at this critical juncture, Maverick would rather let him have an accident than let the child have an accident. So he did not waste any more time and carried Edmond to the foot of the mountain.

Maverick was not completely at ease, but at this time, he had no choice. He could sure that the person who just shot was aimed at Jack. The others were safe for the time being.

Maverick asked, "How are you?"

Maverick checked the wound on his abdomen. The blood flow was very large. Even if he was not sent to a hospital, his life would be in danger.

Jack closed his eyes and said nothing.

Maverick seemed to understand something. He frowned, "Do you know something? Who just shot you? Do you know?"

Jack was still indifferent.

Maverick was even more certain, "You know that someone has been chasing you, so you hid in China. Who are these people? Is it related to me?"

He thought this idea was terrible. But it was very reasonable. He had never seen Jack. None of the other possibilities were enough to make him get involved with Jack.

Maverick wondered, 'Unless it is the power of Italy.'

'But what is the bond between them?'

"Jack?" Maverick took a deep breath and was about to say something, but found that there was a red dot on the back of Jack's head.

That was the aiming point of the sniper rifle.

Maverick thought, 'That man is so arrogant!'

It seemed that the shot just now was intentional.

'But now, he is warning me that he can take Jack's life at any time.'

Maverick's eyes instantly turned cold and looked at Jack, "If you are not willing to say anything, I can also find a way to investigate. But now, if you still want to live, listen to me and do it, okay?"

The man whose breath was extremely weak finally opened his eyes.

Despair flowed in those deep blue eyes.

Maverick's heart tightened.

Jack opened his mouth at this time, and his voice was extremely weak, "I don't want to live anymore, I'm especially tired. I've been hiding all the time. I thought I could do it. It seems that I was too naive. Their power is too great. They can kill me at any time. Maverick, you have to protect Everly. She is the most innocent person. Also, when I was a doctor at MD Zender Hospital, I delivered the baby, but at that time, she was pregnant..."

Maverick heard a noise.

There was another gunshot.

Even the silencer gun could be heard.

They were very close. The moment Jack was shot, hot blood spilled.

Maverick's pupils contracted.

He watched helplessly as Jack fell in front of him, with no chance of survival.

His world was full of the smell of blood.

However, Maverick did not show any fear. He only became more and more certain that this person was doing it on purpose.

He thought, 'That person may be able to read lips, so he knows what Jack is talking about. And what was Jack's last sentence that didn't have time to say?'

'Playing with me, right?'
